waitScreen animated gif

[tonakai]

hi,
i try to place an animated gif in a waitScreen Component in Netbeans 6.1, but it only shows the first frame, i try different emulators (default wtk2.2 emulator, nokia s60 feature pack 2 beta) and also i try it on nokia 6120.
is it possible to do use animated gifs in waitScreens?

thanks

Component WaitScreen does not support animated gifs. It's a deeper
problem and if you'd like to understand mechanism behind it please look
at this article (gifs and MIDP):

Well, you could extend current Wait Screen component to support gifs.
Sources are available in project Netbeans MIDP Componsnts
(vmd.components.midp) , inside of this project look at
netbeans_midp_components_basic (folder/project). Just FYI Wait Screen is
based on the SplashScreen component so if you implement it in the Splash
Screen you'll have this functionality in both WaitsScreen and
SplashScreen. If you need help let me know.
